We’re all voyeurs at heart, right? Well, I am anyways and so, it would seem, is Shaun Usher, the man behind the blog and soon-to-be-book, Letters of Note. Usher has amassed an astonishing archive of personal letters written by some of the most adventurous minds and engrossing personalities of our times. Going through Letters of Note is a bit like rummaging through your neighbors’ mailboxes – if your neighbors were people like Lee Scratch Perry, Kurt Vonnegut and Helen Keller.

Humans of New York is an archive of beautiful photos and touching stories from the Big Apple. The stories range from a sweet old couple arguing about whether today is their 61st or 62nd anniversary, to a young man who never went to college because he was convicted of a murder he didn’t commit at the age of 15. Everything from heart-warming to downright chilling, these images and stories capture the sporadic personality of New York with a healthy dose of honesty.

It all started when Pam came across an old ad from the 19th century in which a man was hoping to find his ‘bright, particular star’. He wrote a sweet personal ad for love and put it in the newspaper, much like people use eHarmony for today. Ever since Pam found that one strange ad, she’s kept a blog of other similarly funny, strange, poignant, or just plain bizarre personal ads from the 19th century. The one that really stuck out to me was written by a widow with a singe child. She is advertising in hopes of finding a strong protector to marry.

It’s amazing what kind of bold faced lies come out of designer’s mouths. Call it designer slang, jargon, or terms of the trade, but we all know it’s bullshit. This is a comprehensive collection of only the best design jargon bullshit. It’s a good laugh if nothing else. One of my favorites is the ridiculous phrase used to sell the Instagram logo. The blog describes itself with this phrase: ‘This blog ensures focus and consensus whilst encouraging maximum creative flexibility across multiple touchpoints’. It’s just more jargon bullshit from the masters themselves.

It’s hard to stop browsing this blog: learn about herbs, spices and vegetables and how they can make you feel better physically. It’s healthy advice combined with ancient words of wisdom, quotes from legends and lots of stuff about being human in general.

My take on life is that you should always evolve and try to be a better person – to others and to yourself. Ask yourself difficult questions and always travel never arrive.

This blog is full of nostalgia as I grew up in the 90s and loved so many of these films. I admire the author’s dedication to the cause, as he challenges himself to find ‘the most ‘90’s film of all time’. His views and commentary are humorous as he thoroughly dissects these films. It’s great to reminisce about this era of movie making, and at the same time, it’s scary to see how dated things have become!
